OOC: Thank you for the reminder. That isn't enough to help them with this save, but keep me honest for future rolls as well. I have so much trouble remembering paladin auras in PbP.
Poison Sting vs. Harmony: 20 Bite vs. Abraxas: 10Damage: 8 Bite vs. Simeon: 18Damage: 8
Magic Missile: 8 Rapier vs. Manta Ray: 18Damage: 8 Rapier vs. Manta Ray: 13Damage: 5
Simeon's attack whistles through the room, blasting into the ceiling above. Abraxas has more luck, but though his beam of cold energy strikes the ray above him, it does not seem to be burdened by the cold. The pair soon feel a refreshing flow of magic course through them from Garu and Harmony, which nullifies the poison of the rays' stingers.
Mro Jus Bir reaches for his flute, and as he plays it, three darts of glowing force slam into the ray above Simeon. Mro Jus Bur rushes forward and thrusts upward with his rapier twice into the ray above Abraxas. Blood mingles with the water dripping from their forms from the damage.
The rays become even more aggressive, throwing themselves at their targets, but the protective energy of Harmony's inspiration keeps the party light on their feet for the moment.
Feeling drained by the spellcasting he's done thus far, Simeon relies upon his blade as he continues the fight. He thrusts his shortsword upward at the ray...
Inspired by Mro Jus Bir's success, Abraxas casts Magic Missile on the ray above him. He's anger drives him to invoke more of the Weave in his casting. He moves faster through the incantation, almost yelling.
Holding her holy symbol, Garu stretches her arms toward the one above Simeon and uses the channel divinity, Nature’s Wrath to attempt to pull it to one spot. (DC 14 Dex or Str) that spot NOT being on top of Simeon.

Abraxas sends a shower of darts into the manta ray floating above him. The ray is torn asunder, and its innards shower the wizard as gravity takes effect. Further behind, the manta ray above Simeon escapes Garu's vines only to suffer a similar fate, cut apart by Simeon and Mro Jus Bur.
One manta ray remains, hovering above Harmony. It shows no reaction to her mockery, cutting her with its stinger. Mro Jus Bir calls out, "You can do this, Harmony!" (OOC: Harmony has a d8 bardic inspiration).
Abraxas shakes ray blood and guts off his fingertips and out of his hair. "Just a moments more thought," he says to himself. "Next time." He tries not in inhale the smell of shattered ray.
Looking at the goop that covers him, and looking at his colleagues under the remaining ray, Abraxas reaches into his shoulder bag and grabs one of the daggers he uses as a book mark. He throws it at the ray: 21 for 3 damage

Harmony was surprised as her cantrip didn't work, caught off guard when the manta ray cut her with the stinger. Then she had heard Bir along with Garu, nodding back as she thought of what to do. She decides to try jumping up and striking at the manta ray with her fist.
(Athletics or Acrobatics for the jump?)
Athletics: 9 (using Bardic Inspiration for Athletics if this is the needed check 3 )

OOC: No check is needed for the jump, if Harmony would like to keep her bardic inspiration.

The manta ray weakens beneath the onslaught of attacks. Garu's whip leaves a scar of divine impact, while Abraxas, Harmony, and Mro Jus Bur each land a strike of their own. The only blow it manages to avoid is Simeon's, but it pushes the creature far enough back that its stinger doesn't reach Harmony when it thrashes in an almost feral state.
Round 4 Order: Manta Ray Players <===== Mro Jus Bir & Mro Jus Bur
Placement: Harmony, Simeon, and Mro Jus Bur are engaged in melee combat with a manta ray directly above her. There is no room for any other melee combatants on the ledge.
Health: Abraxas, Harmony and Simeon are lightly wounded.
Simeon's sword rips through the manta ray's flesh, showering Harmony in the same blood and guts that cover Abraxas. The manta ray falls back into the pool with the others, turning the water within crimson.
Abraxas retrieves his dagger. It is too slimy to put in his book bag so he searches for a clean bit of his robe to wipe it off. He is unable to find a unstained spot. Looking at the crimson pool, he asks, "Would we become any cleaner by washing in that water?"
Harmony was glad to have hit it, but it was still alive and thankful as it's stinger had missed her. But then she saw Simeon kill it, surprised and disgusted as all the blood and guts covered her. "EW!!" she had said, immediately using Prestidigitation to clean herself up.

"Well done," remarks Simeon, congratulating everyone on the success of their group effort. "Let's see why these creatures sought to prevent us from moving on."
Relying on his guidance, he checks the exit door for any signs of trouble before leading the group into the next room...
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As Simeon checks the door, Abraxas will ask Harmony about Prestidigitation. "I don't usually think about things like this too much, but I'm far too filthy to handle my books right now. Would it be too much to ask for you to cast that spell on me?"
After investigating the pool to see if the rays were trying to protect anything there (25), he's ready to follow the group into the next room. If he spots anything in the water, he'll let the others know.
Harmony was happy now that she was fully clean again when she heard Abraxas, nodding back. "No trouble at all!" she says back, smiling as she casts Prestidigitation on him too before following the others to the next room.
